I started slimming world 3 weeks ago but I've dabbled in it quite a few times over the last 5 years. I've never stuck with it past a month or 2 but this time my head is in a completely different place. I'm determined! I've also tried all the other diets over the years and that has resulted in me being 3 stone heavier than when I started dieting! I never seem to get past losing a stone and a bit but this time I have friends who are doing the diet with me so I have support for the first time.
Last year I joined a Bootcamp and I do that 3 times a week. I always thought people who said they love exercise are loons but now I'm one of those people! I haven't properly tried dieting over the last year so my weight hasn't really changed but my body shape has. I'm hoping slimming world and exercise together will give me the results I want because I've never done both together.
I'm 26 years old and have 2 children and it was when I fell pregnant with my first I piled the weight on. I was always big as a child and through school. I lost weight when I was 18 years old. I don't know what weight I was but my clothes size were 14 bottoms and a 12 top and that's the smallest I've ever been. Back then I thought I was still fat but looking at the photos I think I looked good. I would love to get to a size 12. Because of my weight gain I became a hermit for all of my twenties and I'm tired of living like that. I have been engaged for 5 years and cancelled 3 wedding dates because of my weight so I don't want to let my partner down again. We are looking at venues for next year.
I've lost 10lbs so far and my weigh in day is tomorrow. I have a long way to go but I have set myself a target of 2.5lbs per week. I have a holiday in July and if I lose at that rate I will be down 4 stone by then.
Anyway the life story is over! I will post here as a food diary/ thoughts diary and hopefully this will keep me focused.
